MMA Fighter "War Machine" Attempts Suicide In Jail

(CNN) -- Mixed martial arts fighter Jonathan Koppenhaver, who is accused of beating up his ex-girlfriend, tried to kill himself in a Las Vegas jail, authorities said.

Koppenhaver, 32, is known as War Machine on the MMA circuit. He allegedly beat adult film actress Christy Mack and a male friend on August 8 -- then went on the run.

Police captured him a week later in his hometown of Simi Valley, California. He's been held at the Clark County Detention Center since then.

take your punishment and move on. Why do folks try and kill themselves instead of getting help
